I have a recent medtronics interstim neurosacacral implant

Customer Question

I have a recent medtronics interstim neurosacacral implant in my buttocks, model # ***** I have TSA approval, but this was done after I got the approval. I cannot have any ultrasound at all. Will this pose a problem?

Hello! Thank you for using Just Answer. I am James, and I will be assisting you. I do not get a salary here, so your positive rating is the only way I am rewarded for doing my job. If I don't get a positive rating, it is as if I never worked, which I am sure you agree would not be an ideal outcome. So please do not forget to give me 3 or more stars, or any smiling faces, in order to help me get credit for doing my job. Thank you!

ANSWER: Persons with medical implants can still travel. If you cannot go through the security protocol (i.e., either of the two types of walk through scanners), then you will have to undergo a physical pat down of your person. A letter from the doctor would also be helpful, but the letter, alone will not be enough to get through.

Be prepared for some delays due to this issue.

You can also contact TSA Cares to have someone at the airport assist you to get through the process more smoothly. And you can print a card on which you can write down your medical issue and present it to the TSA officer in a more discreet way, if you would like.

I hope I have answered your questions. I aim to give you excellent service, even if the outcome is not what you wanted. So I am happy to answer any related follow-up questions you might have, at no additional charge.

And if you want to talk on the phone for 30 minutes, I can send you an offer for that.

Once you have received an answer, please leave a positive rating by choosing on the 3, 4 or 5 stars so I get credit for doing my job.

A BONUS is also appreciated, if you feel I've earned it.

And if you have questions in the future, write FOR JAMES in the question and I will be your personal Expert in this category.
